New air traffic control centre opens
Airport operators have apologised in advance for increased noise levels as a new air traffic control centre opens.
On Saturday, air traffic control operations for Heathrow Airport moved to a new state of the art £50m centre as part of the Terminal 5 project.
Air traffic controllers have undergone an extensive training programme to familiarise themselves with the new view of the airport and new equipment, but as a precautionary measure the airport will be landing fewer planes at a time
and so it goes on
Out of interest, how many planes do you normally land at a time?
